Abstract

This scoping review examines vaccine interventions targeting Hispanic farmworkers. Eight articles were assessed for common themes. Identified strategies include mobile health units at frequented community or workplace sites, culturally and linguistically tailored messaging, social media, anonymous documentation, and mobile immunization records. Multifaceted, community-oriented interventions are needed to address barriers faced by Hispanic farmworkers to improve vaccine uptake.
